Everything I have set down so far

What the Sirens Measured Against an Ordinary Block

Sirens from a distance, honest uncertainty, the way an ordinary block felt altered without showing why.

What the Kopi Uncle Measures By

Every cup levelled to the same rim before the saucer leaves his hand.

The Long Even Cut Along the Connector

Evening loop along the Serangoon and Punggol park connector — shade, distance, feet finding the line.

A Joint Watched From the Stool at Kovan

A strap repair done right while I waited with my own bag on the bench.

The Same Length Every Sunday Morning

Sharpening the same pencil to the same mark before the week begins.

A Bracket That Finally Held at Hougang Mall

Third visit, right screw, small fix that stopped the shelf from sagging.
